About

With a wealth of experience spanning over three years, I am a dedicated LMHC specializing in youth mental health. My current role at Truecore Behavioral Solutions involves working closely with youth in the juvenile justice system, conducting biopsychosocial assessments, crafting treatment and safety plans, and conducting both individual and group therapy sessions.
I previously served as a Mental Health Counselor at Westcare, where I provided comprehensive care for clients with mental health and substance use challenges. My commitment to fostering mental well-being is underlined by my extensive work history in various clinical roles, where I honed my skills in assessment, treatment planning, and therapy.
As a compassionate therapist, I prioritize empathy, validation, and therapeutic techniques, ensuring that clients receive personalized care. My experience extends to managing clinical documentation, billing, and serving as an emergency screener. I am also proud to have volunteered with Crisis Text Line, providing vital support to individuals in crisis.
My multifaceted career path reflects my unwavering dedication to helping individuals overcome challenges and find their path to mental wellness.
